Do you mind sharing what type of work you applied for?

Posted By: Barb on 2009-04-11
In Reply to: PT at MD-IT - Marilyn

I am wondering if I should try applying again, as I see they have more openings at this time and they just wanted cardiology when I first applied.

To those who don't mind sharing....
Are there any companies that pay base 10 cpl with opportunity for production and/or QA incentives, employee status, good benefits, and great transcription platform.   If so, would you mind sharing the name of your company.  I am feeling very unappreciated where I am, and need a change.
I do not mind sharing. SM
However, this is not a large company.  This is a local company, and I have just been asked if I knew of anyone who needs the work.  If you would like to leave your e-mail, I will be more than happy to share more info. 
mind sharing?
you can e-mail me
Would you mind sharing sm
what the line rates are like and whether or not there are production bonuses?
Would you mind sharing which job
you make better money at? I am looking into coding full time. I don't like the idea of the stress, but I need to make a living where the pay does not continue to go down or nowhere. Do you think there are coding jobs out there that are less stressful than where you are or do you think they are pretty much the same everywhere? Saying you have benefits and work from home, two wonderful things in a job, and you still would leave due to the stress is quite telling about the profession, I must say. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing but I applied with them, was
who was telling me I need a 3rd phone line and then finally said that they were intending on phasing out dialup within a year.  Why apply for a job just to turn around and find another one when they completely phase out dialup?
Would you mind sharing which company this is?
Thanks :-)
what was the account if you don't mind sharing? nm
,
Newbie, mind sharing your name so I can verify this?

Would you mind sharing their incentive pay scale and
how many lines most MTs average per day? Feel free to e-mail me if you would like (or anyone other Webmedx MTs). Thank you!
Would you mind sharing where you found these PT flexible jobs? Thanks! nm

Wow, sounds pretty impressive. Do you mind sharing sm
how much per line you get regular time? Do you get a daily incentive bonus?
Thank you 2! Would you mind sharing their pay scale & what system they use? I will check them out al
xx
I have 1 acct that's verbatim but they don't mind if I edit a little. I used to type insuranc
interviews where they would call people after accidents and I had to type every um, uh or cough. Kind of nervewracking!
Would you mind saying who you work for? - sm
I have about 12 years acute care experience and have not found an employee-status position that is offering more than 9 cents/line.
Who in their right mind would work for them to
even know. 
what company do you work for, if you don't mind me asking...nm
x
if you go to work for them you have lost your mind (IC or otherwise)
they are absolutely the worst company in the history of companies. You're better off at McDonalds.
Mind if I ask, which Transform do you work for?
I recall discussions on this board stating that there are two. One, I believe, in Nevada, and I don't recall which state the other one is located in.
I had applied for PT work and never heard from them. nm
s
Just curious, where do you work if you dont mind my asking. nm
xxx
No, I applied, but cannot get the test file to work.
I tried calling but I cant get through to anybody.  The instructions say to leave a message, but I dont even get voicemail.  Too bad.  Sounded like a really nice job.
Any info on DSG where I have applied as far as availability of work, etc. nm

I used to work for a company who separated the MTs by work type daily. sm
regret ever leaving that company. we had a max of 4 MTs typing a large training hospital with clinics. i was assigned consults and discharges with consults being my priority. another MT had ops and admits, etc. it worked so much better. we were RARELY out of TAT and each of us were trained on other report types for backup in case someone need to take off. not to mention that we were easily able to learn the ESLs because we got them repeatively enough to learn them, set up templates, etc. much, much more productive for us as MTs, for the company as work flow, and i am sure for the dictator because they got someone who knew them and their dictations well enough to be accurate. i don't understand why large MTSOs cannot comprehend how much more beneficial that would be.
Anyone heard of or applied for work at WRU Transcription in Illinois?


I do not work for them, but I have done recruiting for companies of their type of work
It is A LOT different than regular medical transcription. The pay is a little less (unless you are proficient and fast), but the work is harder in that there are multiple people speaking and the nature of the medical advisory boards are quite detailed. I receive quite a few resumes of medical transcriptionists wanting to do this type of work, but when you test them, it is a whole different ballgame.

Good luck and let me know how you do on the test!

I don't work for Transtech but applied w/them, haven't heard back
..
Try All Type. I do not work for them, but - sm
many of my friends do as a part time job from their hospital job. One of them has been with them for over two years, and in this business, that is quite a long time!! LOL
Work type
Discharge summaries, clinic notes, H&P, etc.  Specialties: Orthopedics, Rheumatology, Pulmonary, etc.
Yes, I am doing this same type of work (sm)

and have been doing so for a few years now.  I definitely agree with you that it can involve a lot of research at times; however, I thought he stated in his ad that there might be room for negotiation on his starting pay depending on how many years experience someone had.  I'm just interested in finding out how busy he keeps his transcriptionists.  Thanks for the feedback.  I appreciate it!


All Type - Anyone work for them currently?

All I can find are posts from 2005 and early 2006.  How are they to work for now, specifically do they have a flexible schedule?  Thanks!!


They pay by work type SM
with ops paying the highest.  I interviewed with them for a PT extra job and I thought they would be fine.  Recruiter is very nice, down to earth, and easy to talk to.
What type of work did they take you on for?
I'm going to be doing an account with high ESL, as I'm very comfortable with them. Were you clinic or acute care? I'm worrying now :( That's the reason I left my company was because they couldn't provide me with enough work for even part time.
When do you type, when there is no QA work to do? NM
NM
Did they tell you pay is by the work type with
discharges being 6 or 7 cpl. I believe the only way to make real money is typing ops and working 3rd shift because you get an extra penny for that
It's not that far off for this type of work...
I understood it to be $1.10/page which would equate to $10-15/hour if you type 60 wpm. Who's to say the page isn't double-spaced? I type 100 wpm (no expander) so that would be a pretty decent wage in this day :)
What type of work do they do?

Is this clinic or acute care work? Employee or IC? I'm interested in clinic work w/weekends free if available. I don't like the Sun-Thurs or Tues-Sat schedules... Thanks for any info!


Can I asked when you applied? I applied a few weeks ago
and never heard a word and I have over 16 years of experience. I applied because I got a recommendation from a friend of a friend who loves working there..Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get anymore details other than that.  I'm all for even one positive at this point on this frustrating job search. Good luck to you though and check back with us to tell us how the interview went etc. Thanks
It is DEFINITELY worth it to get the work type you want. nm

Consistent work with All-Type NJ?
Anyone work for All-Type in New Jersey? Am considering them and wonder if their work flow is consistent or are there lots of dry spells? Any other information would ge helpful. Thx.
All Type - Work & Fairness

I can totally sympathize with you - if one is capable of doing the crap work that is who they give it to.  They are short-staffed in both MTs and QA, but I understand they are currently hiring .


As an aside, I would ask ,when applying for acute care, what the volume of ESL will be and what the work-types will be for the particular account for which you will be working.  I know, for a fact, you are not provided with the account information until you start training; by the way their Trainer (Carolyn) is very nice!!


Anyone currently work for All-Type? Have a question. sm
Their website says  need unlimited long distance service.  Then it says method of sending/receiving files is high speed internet.  Current employees,  which is correct?   How are you currently working - on line or over the phone lines?   Thanks.
What type of work and IC or employee? nm
nm
depends on work type
If you can do mostly ops you can fly and make a tremendous amt. If you do HP con and DS it slows you down and makes typing more lucrative.  VR makes money for the company by causing huge decrease in payroll costs but does not benefit the majority of MTs.
anyone work for Freedom Type?
TIA.   pros or cons??  Thinking about them.
Does anyone currently work for Silent Type?

I am interested in talking to someone who currently works for Silent Type and can let me know what the average number of pages they produce in a day.  I was told that it doesn't matter how many lines are on a page, you are paid for the entire page.  In some circumstances that would be pretty good, particularly if there were a lot of normals set up on the account.  I am aware of their practices, the fact that you have to go to NJ to train, etc., but I really would like to know what their transcriptionists are making versus hearing that their rates stink.  I have talked to a few people who say that they do not ever have turnover because their top transcriptionists make quite a bit of money, but I would like to speak to somebody who has been there done that.


Thanks!


I don't get any other work type after OPs. I call in to see if they
are backed up on other accounts that they need help with. I have 4 accounts and when they run out I call. I AM NOT CHERRYPICKING. I am doing what I am given!!
Does anyone work for Silent Type? (sm)
Do they have steady work, flexible schedules, benefits?  Any info will be appreciated.  TIA.
